The Gabon international scored 31 goals in 32 Bundesliga matches last season but his club are reportedly keen on selling the 28-year-old.

Sky Sports’ Guillem Balague has claimed that while nothing has been finalised, Arsenal are ahead of every other club in the race for the Dortmund man.

“Aubameyang wants a deal, Arsenal want a deal, but we’ll have to see what Dortmund say about it,” he told Sky Sports.

“It won’t be the only signing Arsenal make, as they are after two more to strengthen this month to reinforce the side. As we saw at the weekend, they need it.”

He’s certainly not wrong on that last point. Arsenal are in dire need of reinforcement in the squad and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would provide just that. The Gabon international is a hugely exciting player who would be a very good replacement for Alexis Sanchez.
